Hi everyone,
Could someone look and tell me if there's a kosher symbol on the food color that you have? Whatever brand, I don't care. The symbol might be a circle with a "U" inside it, pr a circle with a "K", or start with a "K", or a plain "K"... or some other things also. Thanks so much!

I checked an americolor bottle and it had a usa outline with a k in it. Hope that helps.

You're welcome. Wilton has a circle with a V in it.

If you have any doubts check with your rabbi.

Thanks for the link. I actually was going to check a list like that right now- I just needed to know what the symbols actually were so I could see if they were something I would use. thumbs_up.gif

I know this is an old thread but if anyone who has the Americlolor airbrush colours could be kind enough to check their bottles to see if there are any kosher symbols on them I'd really appreciate it. I'm waiting for the Birmingham show to buy an airbrush  kit and had heard that Americolor airbrush colours are kosher however, I can't see a symbol on any of their bottles (I know their gel colours are kosher and I have those - they have a symbol on them) that I see online. My son is going to bring them back from the States for me so I wanted to order them in advance of getting my machine but am hesitating bc of this. If you see any symbol at all could you describe it for me? like a flag with a K in it or something similar.

Many, many thanks

 

Claire
